Arrow Films has this morning announced the theatrical release of award-winning Director, Kore-eda Hirokazu‘s forthcoming legal drama, THE THIRD MURDER, out in cinemas across the UK on 23 March, 2018.
Directed, written and edited by Kore-eda, the film stars Fukuyama Masaharu, Yakusho Koji and Hirose Suzu.
Leading attorney Shigemori takes on the defence of murder-robbery suspect Misumi who served jail time for another murder 30 years ago.
Shigemori’s chances of winning the case seem low – his client freely admits his guilt, despite facing the death penalty if he is convicted.
As he digs deeper into the case, as he hears the testimonies of the victim’s family and Misumi himself, the once confident Shigemori begins to doubt whether his client is the murderer after all.
THE THIRD MURDER will be released in UK cinemas on 23 March, 2018
